Word is a Jetstar 320 has collided with a safety car at SYD. Any more details known?

I can see the issue - the wing lights weren't switched on

Far more complex than Nav lights!
Was the vehicle driver wearing his ASIC card in an approved manner? |
That doesn't look safe to me
|
That'll buff out.
|
See, shoulda left the taxi light on ;-)
|
One less ATC delay. Winning!

should have gone to SpecSavers |

If it was a Toyota the Airbus would’ve come off 2nd best!
|
There's an obvious mistake in the caption for that photograph. The ute is actually rammed under the engine propeller.
|
How embarrassment!:O
(With apologies to Effie.) Top bit of journalism from 7!:rolleyes: |
Will the Jetstar Cessna be a write-off?
Are the propellers on a Jetstar plain carbon fibre or sustainable timber? |
Was the safety car on a treadmill?
It does look like the towbar is attached and somebody is on headset at the end of that cord. Or maybe they put it on after the Airbus dodged the school and found a clear vehicle to land on. |
All jokes aside, the ute driver was taken to/maybe admitted to hospital and the ute is a write off.
With a tow bar and tug attached it appears to have already been under tow, which gives it the right of way. |
I'm confused. In what circumstances wouldn't it have right of way??
|
All jokes aside, the ute driver was taken to/maybe admitted to hospital and the ute is a write off. The Ute being a write off will surely be insignificant compared to the cost of the engine lip and the associated pipes? Anyone with Engineering experience have an idea of what will be involved in repairing it? Or what it costs to keep a machine out of the air for a week? Another question while I’m on a roll, how does insurance work in situations like this? |
For all you amateurs out there please take note. This is how you truly succeed in the aviation industry. This guy is destined for big things…….quite possibly management material. A real pro that isn’t here to f#!k spiders.
I am sure that this is not the last that we have heard of this guy. |
Obviously the A320 didn’t have its ADSB in / out / up / down gadget pinging. How would the ute driver possibly know the A320 was there, it would not display on the Av-runaways APP. Probably no taxiing broadcast on CTAF.
|
Very hard to understand how they could not have seen each other.
Both the tug and the safety car would have driven past each other just before the collision, so that was a clear reason for both to stop. Unless the "safety" car was driving much much too fast and/or there was very thick fog. Maybe the tug was hooting a warning and the safety driver turned around to wave back without realising there was an aircraft attached ? |
These are the very same people that pull you over on the ramp for the smallest infraction and threaten to revoke your airside drivers authority. Don't ask me how I know about that.
Can imagine Car 10 would have been in a right tizz. |
They don't make UTEs like they used to !
|
So, the old hypnotic spiral strikes again!

You can’t park there :)

Nothing frightens a Triton!
|
Herd a few people say this could be medical related. Hope everyone is ok. The wing propeller may not be.
|
Tritons are good.
Triton Driver highly experienced; possibly trained in Coffs Harbour area.

Google maps did not have that obstruction on it.

Just waiting for a mate...

"The crash happened at 5.30am (local time) while the unmanned A320 was being towed to an airport gate at the domestic terminal. Passengers were getting ready to board JQ760, bound for Adelaide, before the collision."
From 1news.co.nz |
I don’t believe they tow A-320’s unmanned in Australia, regardless of what the propellers are made of.
|
I am hearing the driver suffered a heart attack.
But who above cares. :mad: Better to make fun of him I suppose. |
